THE NATIONAL BANKS.
Their Circulation Discussed by
Leading Bankers.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. The annual
report of Comptroller of the Currency
Trenholm, partial summary of which
has been published, includes a sum-
mary of suggestions received by the
comptroller from all parts of the
country respecting a new basis for ma
tional bank circulation. Over forty
plans have been proposed. and these
are reduced to five propositions:
First-To do away with the note issuing
function of the banks.
Second-TO increase the inducements for
the banks to deposit United States bonds as a
basis of national bank circulation.
Third-TO proved by new issue of bonds
for continuance of the present or of some
modified system of national bank circulation
based on United States bonds.
Fourth-To substitute some other security
for United States bonds deposited in the
treasury as a basis for national bank circula-
ton.
Fifth-To allow the banks to issue circula-
ton upon their general credit without re-
quiTing specific security to be deposited.
The comptroller, after an elaborate
discussion of the these propositions,
finally reaches this conclusion: 1t would
appear that no substitute yet proposed
for the present basis of national bank
circulation is sufficiently free from OBJ
lection to be adopted. The 4 per cent
bonds will not mature for twenty years,
and apart from other considerations
there is enough in this fact to justify
caution and delay in making any radical
change in the basis of circulation. In
that event, no doubt, something accept
able will be devised, but at present all
that seems practicable is to modify the
existing law SO as to obyiate its incon-
veniences, and as a first step towards
this end it appears both safe and wise
TO reduce the minimum amount of bonds
to be kept on deposit.

COX GOES FREE.
The Gay Young Doctor Not Tried
for Bigamy.

Special to the Globe.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Dec. 4.-The case
of the state against DR.. Joseph p. Cox
for bigamy fell through at Hayward,
when court closed yesterday, on ac
count of the omission of the district at
torney to move the case. CoX's st. Paul
wife, nee Mary Pollock, whom he mar
ried there Jan. 8, 1886, to settle an
action for seduction, and who made
complaint in the Hayward action for
bigamy, failed to appear when the time
for trial came. The district attorney at
Hayward is reported as saying there
was no evidence to support the charge
of bigamy, although DR.. CoX's st. Paul
wife recently, on the gronnd of adul-
terry, secured divorce, and Cox is now
living with his Hayward wife. The
district attorney also showed letter
from the st. Paul woman, dated Nov.
25. in which she said she thought the
marriage between herself and Cox was
not valid, but she wanted to get mar
ried again and went to a lawyer, who
told her the safest way was to get di-
vorce. Parties here claim to have in
formation that it was made an object to
the st. Paul woman not to appear. The
action against Cox was not dismissed,
and thus no new action can be COM
menced. This apparently leaves DR..
Cox safe, after his remarkable career
and his five alleged marriages in Wis
cOnSin. Minnesota and Dakota.

NORTH CAROLINA
Wants the Abolition of the Inter-
nal Revenue system.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The North
Carolina Democratic representatives in
congress have had conference to de-
the internal revenue question, and sub
sequently called on Mr.. Carlisle to as
certain what recognition they might eX-
pect from him. Representative Cowles,
in an interview tonight, said that the
delegation believe that the people of
their state demand the uncondi-
tiOnal abolition of the internal rev.
enue system, and that the delegation
have joined hands to labor for this re-
suit. They so Informed Mr.. Carlisle,
and that gentleman assured them that
whatever bills would come from the
ways and means committee would most
likely receive his sanction, but added
that he thought no immoderate or radi-
cal tariff legislation would come from
this source, and that the bill brought
over from the last congress was good
and would come up again. Any pro-
pOSal for absolute repeal he considered
germane to this bill, and, if introduced
as an amendment, would receive due
consideration.
TPE CHIEF FEATURE
of this bill is mitigation of penalties for
violations of the revenue laws. The
whole dele CATION, Mr. Cowles says, re-
aliZe that unless favorable action is
taken by this congress on this question
the result will be disastrous to the Dem
ocratic party in North Carolina. No
bill in the last congress was labOred for
more persistently than that introduced
just before It's close for the relief of the
tobacco and brandy interests; but the
measure was not brought up till 1t was
too late for anything to be accomplished.
The North CarolinianS now demand
that they be allowed fighting ch ance
upon the floor, that the bill be brought
up for consideration, and in season for
tie presidents action, and that no other
policy will satisfy the people of North
Carolina. Speaking for himself Mr..
COwles declared that he was heart and
soul for repeal in toto; that his motto
was tariff for revenue only, and revenue
only by tariff. Senator Ransom is not
so OutspOken OH the subject. He thinks
that prosperity for his state depends
upon Democratic ascendancy, and this
is wholly conditional upon harmony in
the party. If he must fight he prefers
to fight Republicans rather than Mr..
Carlisle or Mr.. Randall, but, while he
thinks a united Democracy the first
requisite of prosperity, he will labor for
the repeal of internal revenue as far as
it can be consistently done.

DISTINGUISHED WOMAN DEAD
Mother Mary Clarke Dies at the
Age of Eighty Five.

Special to the Globe.
DUBUQUE, To-. Dec. Another Mary
Clarke, the head of the order of Sisters
of Charity, B. V. NJ, III this country,
died to-day at the mother house of the
order in Table Mound township. She
lived to the age of eighty-five, and is
recognized as one of the ablest and
most noteworthy women of the times.
Over fifty years ago she founded the
order of the Sisters of Charity, B. V.
NJ, i'll the city of Philadelphia, and
was attached to st. Michaefs church,
of which Father DOnahue was pastor.
At the time of the ''Know Nothing
riots in Philadelphia, in 1874, Father
Donahue's church, house, library and
all his goods were burned. AT that
time he came to Dubuque, and was ac
companied by Mother Clarke and four
or five others of this order. The lands
at Table Mound were bought by Father
DOnahue and the house established,
which has grown so powerful for the
teaching of good in the Northwest.
Some years ago Mother Clarke was
elected mother of the order for the term
of her life, and has since that time held
that position. The object of the order
is to teach, and there are three houses
in this city-the one at the cathedral;
st. Joseph's. Main and Thirteenth
streets; and Mount St.JoSeph's, on West
Locust street on the hill.

HAYWARD WATER WORKS.
The Cornell University Suit Pretty
Generally Understood.

Special TO the Globe.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Dec. 4.-The dis
patches sent out in regard to the suit
between the Cornell university and the
village of Hayward have been errone-
Gus. The suit was begun by w. F.
Bailey, of Eau Claire, attorney for the
Cornell university, to restrain the vii
lage of Hayward from continuing work
on the water works system being put
in. AS the village has only 700 inhab-
itants, and takes in good share of
Sawyer county, all the surrounding
land was taxed to make the improve
ment. The lumbermen in the vicinity
were very angry and declared that they
would not stand it. The Cornell uni
versity, which owns immense tracts of
land in nearly every county, began suit.
When the case came up before Judge
Clough this week, he would Othear
w. +. Bailey. After some time he was
pre- rallied upon to listen to John j.
Jenkins, of this city, who is attorney
for the village. He then found that the
case was more important than he sup
posed, and allowed jenkins to speak
until after II o'clock at night. He then
took the case under advisement, and
gave the lawyers two weeks in which to
prepare briefs. After that he will de-
eide the question of paying the taxes,
which is the chief trouble. No injunc-
ton order was granted, and work is
progressing on the improvements.

Special to the Globe.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec. 4.-Rev. JO-
seph Parker yesterday sent to the sec
retary of the Beecher Monument fund Il
check for 800, the amount received by
him for his expenses in coming to
America and delivering his eulogy on
the late Mr.. Beecher. Rev. DR.. Joseph
Parker preached in Plymouth church
this morning from the text Judges
xxi, 8: why is this come to pass
that there should be to-day one
tribe lacking in Israeli" The sermon
was scholarly one and contained no
reference to local affairs. But, in re-
peating the Lords prayer at the close
of the service, DR.. Parker seemed
greatly moved while uttering the words,
forgive our treSpaSSeS," and there
seemed to be tears in his eyes as he
added, ''As we forgive those who tres
pass against u.s." He did not finish the
prayer, but with the word ''Amen," ab-
ruptly left the pulpit and the church.
Assistant Pastor Halliday apologiZed for
the doctors hasty departure by saying
that he was in hurry to meet friend,
who was to arrive by the Etruria from
England. A reception will be rendered
Dr.. Parker in the Plymouth church
Sunday school room Tuesday evening.

OIL BELOW PROOF.
A Standard Oil Man Inspecting
Oil in Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. "A disagree
able sensation in connection with the
Office of state inspector of oils has just
been developed, and the governor will
enter upon thorough investigation of
the matter. Some time ago sixty bar
rels of oil were shipped to Richmond,
this state, from the Monarch oil station
at Cincinnati, the Oil being manufact-
ured by the Standard. Each barrel bore
the official stamp of Andrew Hagen,
state inspector of oils. Deputy Young,
of Richmond, took it upon him
self to test the oil, notwith-
standing the official stamp of
his superior, and was surprised to find
it thirteen degrees below proof. He
came here and laid the matter before
the governor. Shortly after this Young
was discharged by Hogan, and it then
developed that Joseph Rhinock, Ha-
gan's Cincinnati's deputy, was in the
employ of the Standard company, and
that he had used Hagen's official stamp
on the barrels. The governor is greatly
disturbed over the developments, as it
is an entirely new departure for the
state inspector of oils to appoint Il Stand
ard oil emplOye his deputy.

THE PRINTERS SURRENDER.
Typographical Union No. IS De-

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The strike of the
book and job printers is ended. Typo
graphical Union No. 16 held special
meeting this afternoon and declared
that the 400 strikers must return to
work tomorrow morning on the basis
of ten hours day for s1S per week.
This action of the union was taken by
request of the strikers, who realized
that settlement of the difficulty on
any basis but a complete surrender was
impossible. The strike has lasted five
weeks.
The switching engineers employed by
the different railroad companies enter
ing the Union stock yards refuse to ac-
cept the reduction of their pay to $3.50
for twelve hours work as proposed, and
will all stop work at noon tomorrow if
the reduction is enforced by the stock
yards company. Should the engineers
go out they will be joined by the stock
yards switchmen, and the strike will
effect all the roads.

hinted that the acccsatiOn against Mr..
Dillon is that of treason felony, but as
the case is one that must be tried by an
Irish jury the government hesitateS to
disclose its plans or the precise nature
of Mr.. DillOn'S Otfense until the last

over, the roll has been called, and a
quorum being found present, the organ
iZatiOn of the body has been considered
complete. 1t is said to be probable that
objection will be made tomorrow by
Republicans to the admission of Sena-
tors Turpie. of Indiana, and Faulkner,
of West Virginia, some leading Repub-
licans holding that there are good prima
facie grounds for investigation of their
titles, such as exist against no other

atOr HOar, chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections, has been
looking into the matter, and that he. if
any one, is likely to make the objection.
He has not yet arrived in Washington,
but is expected tonight.
THE DEMOCRATS,
Oh the other hand, holding that the only
defects in the titles of the two senators
are merely technical, propose, i'll case
objection is made, to make similar OBJ
lection to the admission of certain Re-
publicaGS in whose credentials techni-
cal lapSeS have been found. This is
likely to precipitate conflict over the
organization of the body, which may de-
lay all other matters. indefinitely.
Should the objections not be made, or
should compromise or understanding
be reached, the senate will tomorrow
appoint the customary cOmmit.e, S
to give notice to the house of repre-
sentativeS and to the president of the
organization of the senate and its readl-
ness to do business. If both houses
complete their organization tomorrow

fore them Tuesday. The remainder of
the week in the senate is likely to wit
ness nothing in the way of general leg
islatiOn except the introduction of bills.
CaucuseS are likely to take place to fill
vacancies in the several committees,
and it is probable that the great number
of vacancies will give rise to general
readjuStment of the entire committee
